Candidate for Governor Mark Neumann displayed his beer-hoisting prowess tonight to defeat three other contestants in a stein-holding contest at Milwaukee’s Old German Beer Hall. Neumann is now invited to advance to the nationals, to be held in New York City. Earlier this year, Neumann won the local contest to take part in tonight’s regionals.
Back in February, the campaign attended the celebration of Fasching or Karneval (German Mardi Gras) at the Old German Beer Hall in Milwaukee. It is a German tradition to have a sitting politician or candidate for political office tap the first keg of beer. In this case, Mark Neumann tapped a keg of 2010 Strong Bock from Hofbrauhaus in Munich.
While at Karneval, Mark decided to compete in the stein holding competition, in which he and several other competitors held a stein of beer (appx. 1 liter) straight out in front of them until the last person dropped. After about seven minutes, Mark won! advancing to last nights regional semifinals.
Mark W. Neumann was born and raised in Wisconsin and has lived his entire life in our great state. Mark has been happily married for 36 years to Sue and is the father of three grown children: Andrew, Tricia, and Matthew. Mark and Sue are also proud grandparents of 3 young grandsons.
